Chapter 653 Branch Manager Candidate

……

For a middle-aged man surnamed Zhang in the countryside, 200,000 yuan is already an astronomical amount, and with 200,000 yuan, he can not only provide for his three children to finish college, but also build a good house in the village. With these 200,000, he will basically have no worries for the rest of his life!

"I'll give you 500,000, I want this thing!" Liu Dong said.

"Five...... 500,000?" The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang was not only dumbfounded.

"Boss......?"

After waving his hand to signal Chen Xiang not to say more, Liu Dong said, "How is it, uncle, are you selling?"

"Sell, sell!" He is not stupid, since he can earn an extra 300,000 yuan, how can he not sell!

led the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang to the nearest bank, then helped him get a bank card, and after transferring 500,000 yuan into it, he watched the other party leave happily.

"Boss, I don't understand, we can buy it for 200,000 yuan, why do you have to spend more than double the money?" Chen Xiang couldn't help but say.

After retracting his gaze from the back of the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang, Liu Dong said indifferently: "Chen Xiang, I am also a rural person... People, I know how difficult it is to live in the countryside, although I can't help everyone, but if I can't do it, I won't be stingy with money. In addition, compared to the 500,000, these four Qianlong imperial poem interstitial screens have already made us take advantage of enough!"

If it weren't for the fact that it might not be a blessing to suddenly get rich, Liu Dong would have given this middle-aged man surnamed Zhang some more money.

"Boss. I understand!" Chen Xiang looked at Liu Dongdao with admiration.

"Let's go. We go back to the hotel. There's a lot more to come!"

And just when Liu Dong took Chen Xiang back to the hotel, there was a discussion about him in a European-style villa in a luxury villa community located in the southeast of Zhengshi City.

The people involved were Wu Yonglun, a porcelain appraiser who had a conflict with him in the morning, and the thin middle-aged man who came to the door with a blue and white flat pot fake, and a middle-aged man in a moon-white silk coat who was slightly obese and revealed a trace of ruthlessness between his eyes.

"Is this person named Liu Dong ruining our good deeds?" said the ruthless middle-aged man sitting in the middle, casually throwing Liu Dong's photo on the coffee table.

"Yes. I didn't expect this guy to be so young that he was actually a master of porcelain appraisal, and he was blind to Wu Lao's hard work, I am not doing well, please punish my eldest brother!"

"Okay, Liangzi, I know I don't blame you for this!" said the ruthless middle-aged man.

"Brother Xie!"

After nodding, the ruthless middle-aged man turned his head to look at Wu Yonglun, who was still gloomy, "Master Wu, don't worry, I will call you a lot of money this time!"

"Thanks, Boss Huang, but that bastard kid ruined my face. If I do this again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's trust!" Wu Yonglun said.

"It doesn't matter. People are forgetful, and they will be fine after a while!" The middle-aged man surnamed Huang said again after speaking, "Liang Zi, what is the origin of this guy surnamed Liu?"

"The time is too short, I can't find much news, but I know the person who was with him!" said, a thin middle-aged man named Liang Zi took out a photo of Chen Xiang and handed it to the middle-aged man surnamed Huang, "This person's name is Chen Xiang, he came to the antique city more than a month ago, and then bought two stores on the second floor of the antique city, and is still decorating, but he should also be engaged in the antique industry!"

"Boss Huang, judging from Chen Xiang's attitude towards that guy, this antique shop that has not yet opened is likely to be Liu Dong's, if he is allowed to take root in the antique city, it will be very unfavorable to our plans in the future!" Wu Yonglun hurriedly said.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Huang nodded after thinking for a while, and now his main way to make money is to control several influential appraisers to organize treasure appraisal activities, and then use the high imitation porcelain in his hand to mix a few appraisals in an open and honest manner, and then sell them at a high price to make huge profits.

If this person named Liu Dong really gained a foothold in the antique city, it would undoubtedly be an obstacle to his future actions.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man surnamed Huang looked ruthless, "Since this person has already posed a threat to us, let's get rid of him!"

Hearing this, Wu Yonglun looked overjoyed, he had already gritted his teeth with hatred for Liu Dong, who made him lose face in front of others!

"Big brother, let me go, I promise to make this guy surnamed Liu disappear without a trace!" Liang Zi said with a hideous expression.

"No, now that the domestic wind is getting tighter and tighter, it's easy to leave a handle for killing!" the middle-aged man surnamed Huang shook his head after a little thought.

"What then?" Liang Zi said.

"In this way, didn't Wu Lao Du just give us a batch of bronzes, so he used them as a game...... , lead this Liu Dong to take the bait!" The middle-aged man surnamed Huang hesitated for a while, and then said with a ruthless expression.

"Big brother, this strategy is good, but this batch of bronzes is a good thing, just to deal with a Liu Dong, give these things to the strip, isn't it too wasteful!" Liang Zi was a little embarrassed.

"Hmph, what do you know? Why do you think Wu Laodu gave us this batch of bronzes, because he knows very well that the strips have already set their sights on these things, and whoever touches his hands will block the front for him to attract the attention of the strips, so that he can calmly escape from the country when the time comes!" said the middle-aged man surnamed Huang in a cold voice.

"Then big brother, ...... you?"

"Don't forget the rules!"

"Yes, yes, big brother, I shouldn't ask!" Liang Zi said nervously.

"Go down and do as I tell you!"

"I know, big brother, I'll go now!" After agreeing, Liang Zi hurriedly exited the living room.

After he left, after the middle-aged man surnamed Huang clapped his hands, a slender young girl walked up with a pastel gourd bottle in her hand.

"Old Wu, although something happened in the middle, but I, Huang, will never break my word and get fat, this Qianlong official kiln pastel gourd bottle will be yours from now on!"

"Boss Huang, it's really righteous!" As he spoke, Wu Yonglun had already taken the gourd bottle from the girl's hand with a happy face and looked at it carefully.

Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man surnamed Huang smiled and didn't bother.

For him, people with weaknesses are better controlled.

……

After breakfast the next morning, Liu Dong called Chen Xiang to his room, "After analyzing your information, I am going to let this person named Tian Wanchun serve as the shopkeeper of the Zhengzhou branch of the Agarwood Pavilion!"

"Tian Wanchun, in the information, his ability is only ranked in the middle, and there should be several candidates who are more suitable than him, such as that Zheng Yunguang, who is a famous teacher, has already picked up a few big leaks in his thirties, and the appraisal level must be no problem, and he is also a college student, with a flexible mind, no matter how you look at it, it is more suitable than Tian Wanchun, who has no teacher's burden!" Chen Xiang was puzzled.

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Chen Xiang, you are wrong!"

"Am I wrong?" Chen Xiang said in surprise.

"What do you think is the most important thing to get a foothold in an antique shop, or to become a qualified antique shop owner?" asked Liu Dong with a smile.

"Of course, it's the level of identification!" Chen Xiang said immediately.

Liu Dong shook his head, "Although the appraisal level is important, if you want to run an antique shop for a long time, the most important thing is not the appraisal level, but to be steady and not aggressive...... It is rare to find a true ten fakes in the antique shop, and no matter how high the level of identification, I dare not guarantee that I will not be eye-catching, so many times when facing the temptation of a fine antique, it is the most important thing to be able to always remain calm and steady!

After patting the other party's shoulder, Liu Dong continued: "The reason why I, Uncle Zhong and Li Lao were optimistic about you taking over as the shopkeeper of Agarwood Pavilion before was because you had this kind of calm suzhì!"

"I'm sorry, boss, I disappointed you just now!" Chen Xiang said with a ashamed expression.

"Okay, for people like you, the first thing you see is your own shortcomings rather than your advantages, so it's understandable that you think that the appraisal level is the most important! However, since you feel that you still have a gap in the appraisal level, then after entering Beijing this time, follow Li Lao to learn more, and I still expect you to provoke the girder of the Agarwood Pavilion in the future!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Yes, I will definitely study hard with Mr. Li and live up to the trust of your boss!" Chen Xiang said gratefully.

"Okay, you can contact Tian Wanchun first, tell him the rules of our Agarwood Pavilion, and if he agrees to be the shopkeeper of our Agarwood Pavilion Zhengzhou Branch, bring him over to meet me!"

"Yes, boss, I'll go!"

After seeing Liu Dong nodding, Chen Xiang hurriedly strode away.

"Today is Sunday, Zhengzhou-Zhou Antique City Antique Collection should be today, just go to see and see!" Thinking of this, Liu Dong couldn't stay in the room!

But when he just walked to the hotel lobby, a thin man in a yellow vest rushed over and blocked Liu Dong's way, "Hello, is it Mr. Liu?"

"I am, who are you?" Liu Dong frowned.

"Hehe, hello Mr. Liu, my name is Mao Liang, I was fortunate to see Mr. Liu's gold face in the antique city yesterday, so I took the liberty to come to the door today, I have a few things in my hand, I don't know if Mr. Liu is interested?"

"As long as it's an antique, I'm interested!" Liu Dong said indifferently.

"That's good, Mr. Liu, please go this way!" Mao Liang said, and took Liu Dong to the rest area in the corner of the hotel lobby, and then took off the backpack behind his back.

Then he carefully took out a cyan hard cardboard box from his backpack, and after opening the carton, a scroll about 35 centimeters wide appeared in Liu Dong's eyes.

Perhaps seeing that the focus of Liu Dong's eyes was on the painting in his hand, Mao Liang smiled proudly, put the painting in his hand on the table, and slowly unfolded it in front of Liu Dong's eyes, and soon an old and yellowed painting heart appeared.

It is obvious that this painting has been reframed by later generations! (To be continued......
